Since then, he has developed a strong interest in wine, and has studied the famous wines of his hometown, such as Jiu Shu Chun, Bamboo Leaf Qing, Zhuangyuan Hong, and Bergamot, and wrote down the brewing methods one by one. Wine had a great influence on Cao Cao's life. Cao Cao drank freely all day and drank wine, which not only made him study the military thoughts of the past generations, but also aroused his passion for creation. In the first year of Jian'an (196 AD), he dedicated the "JiuqiuChun" wine in his hometown and its brewing method to Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. The wine is worth a hundred times, thus becoming a tribute to the past generations, achieving the world-famous "Gujing Tribute Wine" today, leaving a strong mark on bozhou's wine culture.
